Policy advice

Since the 1945 publication of Vannevar Bush’s Science—The Endless
Frontier, the federal government has played the predominant role
in supporting research and development (R&D) and in establishing
public policies that affect science and technology (S&T) in the United
States. That role remains vitally important today. Almost every major
policy issue is influenced by scientific and technological information and
expertise. There remains a clear and ongoing mandate for a cohesive set
of federal policy and programs that both sustain R&D and promote the
application of new knowledge....

Air Travel and High-Altitude Destinations Commercial air travel is not a risk to the healthy pregnant woman or to the fetus. The higher radiation levels reported at altitudes of 10,500 m (35,000 ft) should pose no problem to the healthy pregnant traveler. Since each airline has a policy regarding pregnancy and flying, it is best to check with the specific carrier when booking reservations. Domestic air travel is usually permitted until the 36th week, whereas international air travel is generally curtailed after the 32nd week.

With growth and development rapidly in Vietnam, is a danger of overuse and
poor management of natural resources, thus affecting sustainable development.
Level of understanding, knowledge and use of the principles of natural resources
management (NRE) is limited to Vietnam's agriculture. Design results
project is to start with the concept of resource management is used in many
organizations in Vietnam (Universities, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, and system extensions) and
enhanced to provide the set of policy knowledge, and advice to farmers in
region.

Challenges to sustaining the productivity of oceanic and coastal fisheries
have become more critical and complex as these fisheries reach the upper
limits to ocean harvests. In addition, it is now clear that we are managing
interactive and dynamic food webs rather than sets of independent single-species
populations.

The prominence of private health insurance has been buttressed by government interventions
directed at PHI markets in several OECD health systems, although the effectiveness of policies aimed at
increasing market size and fostering outcome quality has differed widely. Australia, Ireland, the
Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and the United States have promoted and maintained a large and
viable private health insurance market because policy makers have concluded that mixed public-private
coverage systems can better deliver desired health policy and social outcomes.

Before working on consumption, WWF looked at the existing advice about food choices. We saw that
this was already a very crowded area and we didn’t want to add to the maelstrom of information. We
had already noticed that the environmental ’hotspots’ had much in common with the health ones. In an
attempt to bring some of these messages together, we decided to look at current governmental eating
advice – the Eatwell plate – and to see how it could be adapted to include the environment. The idea
was to produce a definition of a sustainable diet that is nutritionally...

The private bond market remains much smaller than that for the government. The
outstanding issuance of corporate bonds has risen to almost 10 percent of GDP in 2011, but
the market is still very concentrated in short duration rates, with a limited investor base and
less diversified issuers. This suggests that the private fixed income market is not a significant
long-term financing source for non-financial corporations.
Indexation: Around 90 percent of private bonds are linked to the DI rate, resulting in little
incentive for active trading.

Emission inventories play a dual role in global air pollution issues. Firstly, they can be used
directly to establish the more important source categories, to identify trends in emissions and
to examine the impact of different policy approaches. Secondly, emission inventories are used
to drive atmospheric models applied to assess the environmental consequences of changing
trace gas emissions and concentrations and to provide advice to policy makers. This second
role contributes to the atmospheric modelling community being an important user of emission
inventories.

Exotic Pine Nursery This Practical Guide was developed by Forestry Plantations Queensland (FPQ)
used in Vietnam as part of project evaluation CARD Field "and advanced mass plant propagation
technology to expand the plantations of Pinus caribaea value and related hybrids in Vietnam ".

These studies are all interconnected. For the market and financial studies,
the promoter may appoint economic advisers because a major problem to be
resolved is how large should the project be (in terms of output or capacity)
and whether it would be economic to phase the construction in stages.
The feasibility studies will need to investigate different options for provid-
ing the output, to ascertain how practicable it is to adopt phased construction,
and what difference this would cause to capital outlays and their timing.

Almost all developed countries have well-established science policy research centres providing training and policy advice, in addition to research. In many developing countries, however, this capacity is lacking, leading to fragmented, poorly coordinated science systems.

The rst thing that most graduate students do is they rush to the literature to see if
someone else had this idea already. However, my advice is to wait a bit before you look
at the literature. Eventually you should do a thorough literature review, of course, but I
think that you will do much better if you work on your idea for a few weeks before doing
a systematic literature search. There are several reasons for delay.

Many people have contributed to the successful completion of this
book. Jenny Routledge initiated the cross-school Women’s Health
Initiative at the University of East Anglia, whose members undertook
the stimulating discussions, activities and conferences which led to
most of the chapters herein. Robbie Meehan provided excellent
support for those activities, so that they were always well run and
recorded; her co-ordination was essential in getting the book underway.

Because CHWs hold the esteem of their peers, they are effective in promoting change and challenging stigma
surrounding HIV/AIDS, harmful traditional practices, and prejudices against family planning. They are
motivated by a sense of duty to care for others around them and many were caring for others long before they
received Pathfinder’s training. The training enables them to offer a wider range of services, gives them confidence
that they are giving correct advice, and teaches them how to safely care for people living with HIV/AIDS.

The ability to achieve an economically efficient livestock production system and to improve the quality of agricultural research and advice in Vietnam is dependent on the capacity of feed laboratories to provide reliable nutritional and analytical data. Vietnam’s laboratories currently lack the resources and skills to meet both industry needs and the higher accreditation standards for Quality Assurance (QA) set as a Government objective. The proposed activity will assist laboratories to meets these industry needs and government goals by:...

A third has to do with the asym-
metry in information between provider and pa-
tient concerning the outcomes of intervention;
providers advise patients on choice of treatment,
and when the providers' income is linked to this
advice, excessive treatment can result. As a conse-
quence of these last two considerations, in unregu-
lated private markets costs escalate without appre-
ciable health gains to the patient.

The genuine saving indicator marks a step forward by the Bank to move away from simple GDP
per capita calculations and introduce some human and environmental considerations into
mainstream national accounting. Because of its simple and striking nature it looks set to be a
major factor in key Bank documents and policy advice. Perhaps it will even become the figure
which represents the combined total of the two sides of the “national balance sheet” outlined in
Wolfensohn’s CDF proposal.
However, it suffers from flawed data and methodology.
